CHICAGO PLANT NOTES. 



The Chicago market is well supplied 

 with blooming plants at present. 

 There are the Dutch bulbous stock 

 consisting of pans of Montresor.Proserr 

 pine, Keiserkroon and LaReine tulips, 

 hyacinths Dutch and -minaature," Nar- 

 cissus Von Sion, etc. Dutch bulbs are 

 not in quite as heavy supply as last 

 year and are doing much better as to 

 price. There is also a good supply of 

 azaleas, cyclamens and Primula ob- 

 ■ conica. Rhododendrons are beginning 

 to make their appearance. Boston 

 ferns of good size are rather short in 

 supply.
